'All Indications Are' That Falcons Will Sign CB Dunta Robinson

It looks like the crown jewel of the free agent cornerback market may not be available for long. Though free agency doesn’t technically start until 12 AM (EST) Friday — scheduled unrestricted free agents can’t talk to other teams — it’s believed that CB Dunta Robinson will land in Atlanta.

“All indications are that Dunta Robinson will end up with the Falcons,” said Steve Wyche of NFL Network.

I was thinking that the top-rated cornerback in free agency would want to test the waters first and gauge what surely would be a good crowd of possible suitors.

Then one of my esteemed SB Nation colleagues reminded me that Robinson is from Athens, GA, which appears to be the link to Atlanta. Still, I’m surprised — if this report is accurate — that Robinson isn’t interested in a bidding war for his services.

We’ll keep an eye on this story because there are quite a few rumors floating around in the hours running up to the start of free agency.
